Campground in Taupo, Waikato New Zealand
Happy Daze - $50.00 per night
Welcome to Happy Daze! We have 1 space for a small campervan, car or van (we are not a campsite but a private backyard)
Come and relax in a lovely, native tree lined private property with an abundance of bird life. While you're here you will see some lovely scenery and experience our wonderful surroundings. Star gazing is fantastic on a clear night.
We are 40mins from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and 30mins from Taupo airport. We have a quiet 1/2 acre property with lake and river access. There is a bathroom with shower, washing machine, toilet and sink. A small kitchenette & dining room, with a fridge, microwave/convection oven, hotplate, kettle & toaster. A patio with an outside bench & sink, a bbq & chimenea. All water on site is fully filtered from our natural bore. A small part of our property has no cellphone reception but the majority of the area has ok service. Starlink Wifi is available & the code is in the bathroom and the kitchen.
We have two teenagers, 2 chickens and a friendly cat on the property. (Boots the cat will get in your van) We are social hosts and like to meet, greet, chat and tell you about this beautiful area. We also host people in our barrel cabin, so you could be sharing the bathroom & kitchenette area.
Our rates are $50 per night for a powered site for 2 people.
Our top 3 destinations nearby are the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Whakapapa- Mt Ruapehu ski field & DOC walks and Lake Taupo where you can swim, kayak & fish etc. It is a 2 min short walk from the back of our property to the river and lake. There are mountain bike tracks and short bush walks nearby.
If you are looking for a chance to relax and stay somewhere quiet & peaceful rather than the big camper parks then this is the place for you! We can offer a personal experience providing you with information you may need for the Tongariro Crossing or other adventures to do in this beautiful area.
We look forward to meeting you. Zoe & Ryan

Awesome place, friendly hosts. Quiet & peaceful. Beautiful surroundings with a 3 minute walk to the river & lake. Cute cat & lots of bird life. Hot shower & super clean facilities. Nice to stay here rather than the big camper parks, only sharing with a couple of other people staying in the cutest cabin. Highly recommend.
Boots (the cat) is truly a highlight of this place. Amazing place with scenery, lots of amenities too. Bugs and/or Boots will come in if your doors are open, so just be wary of that!
Amazing place, beautiful surroundings and all you would want for a camper van. The hosts are friendly and gracious. If you need to stay a night or visit the local area I can not speak well enough about this place.
Great campsite and amazing host, you have everything you need and more. The only downside is the location close to the river and the numerous insects at night. We forgot to close the doors of our campervan, which ended up in hunderts of Moskitos and other bugs in the car, that was very gross... So make sure to close all openings of your.
We loved it here. It has everything you need. Washed was an extra $1 but WiFi and hot showers included. We loved having a bbq and sitting in the sun. Fabulous!
Really clever, perfect stay. You are parked up on the side of their house and have your own bathroom, washing machine ($1 donation) and then a little kitchen with table. Share the facilties if other guests in the pod/shepherd's hut but we didn't see them. Recommend
Very nice hosts in a very lovely place. There is one place for a campervan and one barrel tiny house, so it's a very quiet and peacefull place. The kitchen and the bathroom were clean. The river is around 5min walk. Many thanks to Zoé and Ryan, it was perfect.
LO-VE-LY place, we were amizingly welcomed by Zoey and her family including their cat. The place is full of nice little attentions, and surrounded by nature. Perfect! Thank you !!!
Happy Daze was far and away the best place we have stayed in our Campervan. The hosts are so kind and helpful and have gone to great lengths to make sure you have a wonderful stay. The attention to detail is obvious and all the extra care makes this place feel very homey. The location is great and it’s very peaceful. We would go back any time we’re in the Taupō area. Loved it!
Make sure to ring 0210604422 to stay at this wonderful little slice of paradise. We were unable to book on the app but the owners are super helpful. You won't regret spending a night or 2 in this quiet spot with plenty of bird life & a walk to the river & lake just 2 mins away!
